What will be an ideal response?
If an employer and employee do not agree in advance about which party will own inventions conceived by the employee during the course and scope of employment, the general rule is that the employee retains ownership rights, subject to a shop right in favor of the employer. A shop right is a nonexclusive, royalty-free, nontransferable license of the employer to make and use the invention in the employer's business whether or not the employee remains employed by the employer. The employee may grant other licenses, may file a patent application and own any issued patent, and may sue for infringement by parties other than the employer.
